Hyperolius bicolor is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is endemic to Angola. Its natural habitats are rivers, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes.

Hyperolius bicolor is a species of reed frog, commonly known as the “tree frog.” The typical diet consists of hydei fruit flies and crickets. They spend much of their time clinging to trees, able to grapple onto them using their sticky webbed feet.[2]
